It's United's worst start to a season for 29 years - as they sit tenth in the Premier League and already nine points behind Manchester City and Liverpool.

United icon Scholes has been a vocal critic of the ex-Chelsea boss - who he says is "embarrassing the club" and lucky to still be in charge.

However, Scholes is in agreement with his ex-United team-mate Ryan Giggs that Mourinho - who gave a press conference lasting less than four minutes this morning - deserves more time to turn around the perilous situation at Old Trafford.
